New University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel talks to the media and others after being nominated and selected at the Michigan Union as the new president of the university on Friday, Jan. 24, 2014. / Eric Seals/Detroit Free Press
Get to know new University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel
Age: 56
Current job: Provost at Brown University. Provosts are in charge of academics at a university. It is the No. 2 position and the provost is generally responsible for day-to-day operations of an university.
Previous jobs: Faculty member at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and University of California-Berkeley; dean of biological sciences in the College of Letters and Science at Berkeley; provost at Brown
Degrees: Undergrad from Princeton and masterÆs and doctorate from Hopkins.
Research: Focused on the developmental biology of B lymphocytes, the cell type in the immune system that secretes antibodies.

He is the author or coauthor of nearly 100 scientific papers.
Teaching experience: Taught undergraduate and graduate courses in immunology as well as a large introductory course in biology for life science majors.
Family: Wife, Monica Schwebs, four adult children.
Mark Schlissel, the current provost at Brown University, will be the next president of the University of Michigan. The Board of Regents made the hire during a special meeting at 10 a.m. today.
The board has been searching for a replacement for Mary Sue Coleman, who will retire at the end of the school year.

Schlissel, 56, was happy to be selected, calling the university a ōjewelö of the American higher education system. He said he was looking forward to tapping into the ability to bring multiple disciplines together to work on the worldÆs issues and problems.
But he said he will not let the universityÆs great research distract him from the basics of the university.
ōWhat lies at its core is the education of talented students from around the state and the country,ö he told the media. ōI will bring to Michigan a fierce commitment to the importance of public research universities, a strong and personal belief in the ability of education to transform lives, and the understanding that excellence and diversity are inextricably linked.ö
Regents praised Schlissel as they made the hire.
ōHe brings great intellect, academic achievement, proven leadership skills, integrity, commitment to our public mission and values, decency and good humor to his new responsibilities,ö said Regent Laurence Deitch. ōWe were privileged to have a pool of extraordinary candidates.ö
Regent Denise Ilitch was impressed with him as well.
ōAs a parent first and foremost, I am confident that Dr. Schlissel will lead with our studentsÆ welfare as his top priority,ö she said. ōDr. Schlissel understands our mission and will work tirelessly to continue our academic and research excellence, our passionate desire for access and affordability and a learning environment that is inclusive and promotes diversity.ö
He will have a five-year contract, starting on July 1. HeÆll be paid $750,000 in base salary and get a retention incentive of $100,000 a year, which is payable at the end of the five years. The contract also gives him regular university benefits and a $20,000-a-year supplemental contribution to a retirement plan. HeÆll be allowed to live in the president's house on campus and have the use of a driver.
A graduate of Princeton University (AB summa cum laude, 1979, biochemical sciences), Schlissel earned both MD and PhD degrees at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (1986, physiological chemistry). He did his residency training in internal medicine at Hopkins Hospital and conducted postdoctoral research as a Bristol-Myers Cancer Research Fellow under David Baltimore at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Whitehead Institute.
Schlissel began his career as a faculty member at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1991, where he earned a number of awards and fellowships for his research and teaching. He moved to the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California¢Berkeley in 1999 as associate professor, advancing to full professor in 2002. He taught undergraduate and graduate courses in immunology as well as a large introductory course in biology for life science majors.
This fall, the board held a series of campus meetings on the characteristics the next president should have, but board members have declined public comment since on the search. The search occurred behind closed doors because state law allows regents to keep presidential searches secret.
ColemanÆs last day is July 31, but her contract says the board can appoint someone before that. In that case, Coleman would become president emerita and ōperform such duties as are mutually acceptable to the regents and to her.ö
Schlissel said he plans to ōrely on ColemanÆs advice and counsel during the transition.ö
He also praised ColemanÆs work.
ōThe university is in outstanding shape.ö
The regents spent two days last week in closed-door meetings in New York. They said the meetings were discussions with experts on various higher education issues. They did not say whether the search was discussed.

When it comes to getting a tablet, I've taken a long time to explore all of the possibilities. I've read the reviews by iPad fanboys who have continually trashed Android tablets in favor of iPad. I carefully sifted through pro-iPad and pro-Android comments from readers. For a while, despite the fact that I've been an avid Droid user since Motorola first released it years ago, I seriously considered becoming "assimilated" with the lemming masses and getting the latest iPad.
Then, I finally took a good hard look at the ASUS Transformer Prime tablet and realized that for my particular needs and my lifestyle, it is the best tablet on the market today. Before all you iPad followers jump on me for that statement, remember – I said for my particular needs and lifestyle. It may not be for everyone.
I wanted a way to carry around all of my writing work and research in a package much lighter and smaller than a laptop, a portable tool that can give me quick access to my email and analytics data, and most importantly a way to type up blog articles anywhere and everywhere I am.
I even spent a lot of time playing around with the iPads in the Apple store at the mall and reading articles and reviews about tablets. In the end, I opted to stick with the operating system that I fell in love with years ago – and went with the ASUS Transformer Prime TF201.
What follows is an honest, unbiased review of the ASUS Transformer Prime which we bought with our own money. We're also giving away a brand new 32GB model with a keyboard dock valued at $650! to one very lucky MakeUseOf reader.
Introducing the ASUS Transformer Prime
Here's the low-down. The $499 ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 is only 8.33mm thin, and features a 3 quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 CPU. Of course it's loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS, a screen wider than most other tablets, a MicroSD card reader, Micro HDMI port, an 8 megapixel rear camera with flash as well as a small 1.2 megapixel web cam on the front, and 32 GB of memory. It also comes with 8 GB of lifetime ASUS web storage space on the cloud (who needs Dropbox?)
Top competitors in this price range are the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the iPad 2, and of course the third generation iPad. The ASUS Transformer Prime easily beats out the Samsung Galaxy and iPad 2 in terms of case size, screen size and performance. So why opt for it over the third generation iPad?
Well, there wasn't a lot that could sway me to choose third generation iPad – PCWorld ranks the ASUS Transformer Prime's camera image quality as good as the new iPad (and finer exposure controls), and Transformer Prime is still the thinnest of all when undocked. Furthermore, the new iPad has 10 hrs of battery life, but the Transformer Prime when docked can surf, email and download for a whopping 17 hours – plus I can type without fat-fingering an on-screen keyboard. I looked at bluetooth keyboard cases for iPad, and nothing matched the design and performance of the Transformer Prime's plug-in setup. Top that off with my favorite mobile OS of all time, and the choice was easy.
After receiving the ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 a couple of weeks ago, it became apparent in minutes that I'd made a good choice. The Transformer Prime is slim and light, but the polished aluminum metal back and of course the Corning Gorilla Glass give the tablet a look and feel of real quality.
It is about an inch wider than the iPad 2 and slightly thinner, and comes with a microSD and Micro-HDMI port on the left side as well as the volume and microphone pinhole. Around the other sides you'll find a second microphone pinhole, the headphone jack, and the data/power connector port on the bottom (where it plugs into the keyboard dock).
The front of the tablet features the 1.2 megapixel camera for video conferencing or 1-on-1 video chats. The back of the tablet features the 8-megapixel camera and 1080p video recorder.
The Keyboard Defence
Before I even turned this baby on, I was pretty excited. As far as the keyboard goes, I read Matt's article about why Tablets shouldn't have keyboards, and let me say that the Asus Transformer proves all of his points wrong.
He wrote that the dock gives it excessive weight and 1.1 inches of thickness – well, the keyboard isn't even a half an inch, but maybe if you measure the dock hinge (thickest part of the whole dock) it might measure 1.1 inches. Laying flat on a table, the whole thing just looks like a tablet. It is nowhere near as chunky as a netbook.
This thing is sleek, sexy, powerful (17 hours of run-time with the dock battery, thank you very much), and no one will suspect that little tablet you're carrying around is anything more than a tablet. That is, until you open up that baby and everyone can see how much more productive you can be while you're on the go.
With this setup, you can type emails, blog posts, fill out forms, IM, and everything else five to ten times faster than anyone else that's messing around on a tablet with their thick, clumsy fingers.
And you aren't stuck using the keyboard and mouse. After a while I discovered a really cool system of using a combination of screen taps and swipes combined with typing when required that made productivity soar – sometimes even faster than I would be capable of on my own laptop back home. This blows away my colleague Matt's second contention that "…placing a set of keys on a tablet bestows it with every disadvantage of a netbook."
No, it actually takes the advantages of a tablet touch screen, speed and power savings, and then slaps on the advantages of having a keyboard. It's as simple as that.
Firing up the ASUS Transformer Prime
Once you turn this thing on, you'll see why CNET and TechRadar both listed it as the top Android tablet of them all. Almost all other lists, like PCWorld, that rate all tablets, the Transformer Prime is always second or third – these lists nearly always kowtow to the mass iPad cult followers.
But if you want to stand out from the crowd – if you want a powerful, productive tablet apart from what all of the lemmings use, let me introduce you to your future tablet.
This is the startup screen. I only installed a couple of apps before taking this screenshot – one of which was Dropbox so I could easily toss anything I write into the cloud and access it from my other computers or devices.
The home page is really nicely laid out. If you're familiar with Android or have used an Android Smartphone in the past, you'll catch on quickly. This one is Google's Ice Cream Sandwich Android OS, and it's a dream to play with.
Location data – like time/weather – comes from either the built-in GPS or your network location. You can quickly check or change all of your settings by tapping the icons in the lower right corner of the screen.
There, you can easily tap the wi-fi, bluetooth or other icons to enable or disable them, or tab the gear wheel to dig deeper in the settings.
Again, if you've used the Android OS before, then none of this will be unfamiliar to you. Settings are easy to navigate, and guess what – ASUS has offered a built-in Screenshot app that works beautifully without the need to root your device, letting you maintain the built-in security of a non-rooted Linux-based system.
If you're at all curious what it's like to use an 8 megapixel camera mounted on the back of a tablet – well, it's actually pretty cool. The camera app shows your target in crystal-clear full-screen mode, and you can switch back and forth between photo or video mode with the tap of a finger.
Change camera settings on the fly by tapping the settings icon. You can turn on or off flash, adjust picture size, shutter sound, anti-flicker and more. I thought my Motorola Droid took nice pictures, but this camera is actually pretty impressive for a tablet cam.
Another cool feature of Google's Ice Cream Sandwich on this tablet that's worth mentioning is the nice dual-search feature, where you can search both the Internet as well as your own device with the search bar in the upper left corner. You'll get potential web searches on the left, or installed apps on the right. Quickly perform either action with one finger tap. You can't do that with a Netbook.
ASUS also sends a variety of apps pre-packaged on these tablets. There are a bunch of cloud-based apps, like MyCloud, MyNet and MyLibrary that let you tap into a whole bunch of free online resources for syncing your tablet data with your home PCs, syncing and playing music, and you can even set up your tablet to remote control your PC by just installing some software on your computer. Everything on the tablet is already installed and ready to go.
I also wanted to mention quickly that if you're a writer like I am, or you're a student who needs to write up papers often while you're on the move, I recommend Polaris Office, which lets you create Word documents, spreadsheets or slideshows on your Android tablet.
I should also point out that applications running in landscape mode on this docked tablet have plenty of space to maneuver and read. I tested this using Gmail, because I'm very picky when it comes to email – I want to have space to quickly scroll through new mail and preview the email itself before deciding to delete or respond. It's no problem at all on the Transformer Prime display.
In fact, at times I forgot I was using a tablet. I was actually disappointed when I went back to my home laptop and realized that I just couldn't move as fast as I could on the Transformer Prime, with quick finger swipes and taps. Withe the beauty of a touch screen and the convenience of a keyboard when you need it, the ASUS Transformer Prime is set to become the tablet of choice once more people realize just how much more it's capable of than other tablets out there.
Should You Buy the ASUS Transformer Prime?
As you can tell, I love my Transformer Prime. But in all fairness, being a writer I would have liked the option of a wider keyboard with more finger space, and the mouse button is also a little hard-clicking at times. So far, I haven't found anything to dislike about the actual tablet itself. I like that when I use it, people still take notice as I glide through screens quickly with a flick of my finger on the screen and a few taps of the keyboard.
If you are a person who longs to have what everyone else has, I would not recommend this tablet. Get the new iPad and you will be happy. Honestly, it is in all fairness as good as the Transformer Prime, and in some ways it is better – it simply works a little faster under CPU benchmark tests. However, if you are the type of person who looks for the alternative to what everyone else is doing – if you are a technology rebel that likes to take the path less traveled, typing up emails and research papers faster than other tablet users around you, then the ASUS Transformer Prime is for you.
And when you're done typing, plug in your headphones, fire up your music playlist, close the dock, and sit back – basking in the knowledge that you own a tablet that puts you a step ahead of the competition, and a mile outside of the mainstream.

Summary: 1 ARCS FOUNDATION GLOBAL IMPACT AWARD Global Health, Public Good and Graduate Education Case for Professional Development Support Faculty and graduate students are the lifeblood of research universities. They are essential for the discovery, creation and communication of new knowledge, and the preservation and conservation of existing knowledge. They bring fresh perspectives, post new question, and boldly challenge convention. In doing so, they constantly reshape the face of academic research, keeping it innovative, exhilarating and vital to the issues of the day. This lens on graduate education is traditional, time-honored, and one that does not fade away, erode or dilute with the passage of time and the emergence of change in the academy. In addition to creating new knowledge, graduate education also contributes to the public good. Through research, discovery, and programmatic action, graduate education adds to the difference many organization are making to address the most pressing and complex problems of this day, especially in areas of health and society. Complex problems are examined through interdisciplinary approaches that involved multiple disciplines that cross the biomedical and social sciences, humanities and public health. Advancing research and action in global health is one of the best examples where multiple disciplines align for research and graduate training that have a high likelihood of addressing policy, programs and social action.

Korean Air Proposes East Asia Bloc to Counter EU Inroads
SEOUL (XFN-ASIA) - Korea Air proposed an East Asian airline bloc involving South Korea, Japan and China to counter an agreement forged by European Union member countries to protect their airlines.
Korean Air president Lee Jong-Hee urged the government to reject any demand that it recognise an EU Community clause at aviation talks with France here next week.
Under the clause, an EU member country can designate an airline of any other EU member as its national flag carrier. France wants South Korea to accept the clause.
"The clause must not be accepted as it will force the complete opening of our airline market to all EU member countries," Lee told reporters.
"I suggest South Korea should push ahead with an airline bloc with China and Japan to counter the European bloc," he said.
Korea Air's rival Asiana supports the EU clause, saying it will boost the competitiveness of local carriers.
If South Korea accepts the clause, Asiana would also be able to fly the Seoul-Paris route.
Asiana says the boarding rate of planes between South Korea and France is more than 80 pct and travelers suffer from a shortage of seats during high seasons.
South Korea and France signed an aviation pact in 1973, allowing only Korean Air and Air France to fly between Seoul and Paris.
Now South Korea wants France to permit multiple airlines on the route but France is reluctant to accept the demand, insisting it has only one national flag carrier, Air France, according to the Yonhap news agency.

In 1929 the building was leased to Ye Office Tavern but it appears to have returned to movies by at least 1936.

Working as freelance writers, we don't have an employer or supervisor looking over our shoulder to hold us accountable for how we spend our time. Instead that responsibility falls on us.
I've always been big on planning and organization to help me get more worked into my schedule. I keep daily and weekly to-do lists. I have four white boards and two bulletin boards in my office to keep track of specific types of projects. And I have a terribly guilty conscience when I don't finish the things I set out to do in any given day. But that's not always enough.
One of the best ways to hold yourself accountable as a freelance writer is to share your plans with others. Knowing that someone else will see you fail can light a fire under you to succeed.
Step Into About Writing Squared
That's why it was such a great idea when Anne Wayman suggested using the About Writing Squared community (the "five buck forum" run by Anne and Lori Widmer) to hold ourselves accountable. This is a paid writing forum where you can network with, and get support from, your fellow freelance writers of all levels.
I finished more work last week -- the first I shared an accountability list -- than I had in months of using my standard lists. If you're curious to see what I and our fellow freelancers are up to each week, you should join for a month and check it out. Some examples of freelance writers you might know who are using these accountability lists include:
- Anne Wayman
- Lori Widmer
- Sharon Hurley Hall
- Cathy Miller
- Samar Owais
- Luana Spinetti
There's something motivational about seeing what everyone else is working on. And there's something comforting when you see that others don't always get everything done as planned either. We share successes and failures alike, and I consider it a great weekly reality check.
How it Works
You can really choose to share in whatever way suits you. But here's what I do:
- I set up a single thread called "Jenn's Accountability" in the "High Value Actions-Accountability-Bookending" forum.
- I posted a heading for the first post with a "week of..." notice.
- I listed all of my planned tasks for that week.
- When I complete something, I color it green. If I need to bump something to the following week, I color it red. You can edit these as you go.
- When one week ends, I post a fresh list in a new post in that same thread with a new "week of..." heading.
- As we go along we post in each other's threads occasionally with words of encouragement.
Simple, right? Yet it's very effective.
You could certainly do this anywhere. You could use a more public community (this one has a certain level of privacy because of its paid nature). You could even post your lists to your blog. Personally I think a tight-knit community like About Writing Squared is a great way to go. And I hope you'll check it out.

Hi Jenn, this is a great idea. The only person I've shared my lists with in the past is my wife and I have a feeling she might get tired of acting as my personal accountability coach whenever I get distracted. I have had good luck in recent months with software and calendars, but that's just tracking – actually getting stuff done is a different beast entirely. I'll most definitely take a look at this.
Thanks for the shout-out, Jenn. I love this idea, too. Yes, it duplicates the lists I make anyway, but there's something about your peers seeing that list.
And it's great for picking up ideas from those peers. For example, I tend not to list posts to my 3 blogs or admin or "maintenance" work – like it's not work. So, I added that.
I'll admit the volume of work being produced by peers can be intimidating. But, then I remind myself – different goals – different work.
And I have a different color code – red means done to me (as in stop -Lord, I'm so literal) and green is In Progress – as in Go.
This week I tried writing out my usual to do lists in addition to the one on the forum. And I haven't even used my cards. That's turning into an all-out substitute. This has been a wonky week for me — losing one of my biggest clients due to their content strategy changes. So I was concerned it wouldn't be a productive one. I was just checking a couple of posts off my list there, and I realized I've gotten a heck of a lot done! The only things I might not finish this week are some post edits for a blog contributor (because they didn't upload the posts for me yet) and the 10,000 word target in the mystery novel. I'll consider myself lucky if I hit half of that. Still, it was a big list, and I'm getting far more done than I would have if people couldn't see it.
That's one of the perks Cathy — we can use whatever color codes or other methods we want. Some people post DONE next to items. I'm not sure why I even picked green. There's no logical reason for it. I opted for red for the bumped tasks because it sticks out like a sore thumb and reminds me nasty old school editor's marks. So I want to see less of it.
I don't think anyone should feel intimidated. We all break down our lists differently. For example, I lay out every post I have to write whereas someone else might just lump them by client or site. And with admin work, some folks might just list daily admin as one task. I break it down based on the length of time things take. If it's more than 20-30 minutes or I don't do it at the same time I do other admin work (like weekly backups), then it gets its own spot in my list. I just do it that way because I like the feeling of "checking things off" as I go along. It reminds me that I accomplished something instead of screwing around all day, which is always tempting.
I'm trying to give RED a better rep so it can feel good about itself.
Very thoughtful of you Cathy. 😉
I think the accountability list is a great idea. I really need start participating on the About Squared Writing forum.
Right now I have an "accountability partner" – a copywriter in California. We talk twice a week about our daily/weekly/monthly goals, plans for our businesses and push one another to stay focused and follow through. We've been doing this for two years now and she's a great resource when I need straight up, honest feedback and/or advice. I also love, love listening to her her Irish accent. :~)
Thanks for the shout-out, Jenn! Much appreciated.
You're right — what I like most about that sort of thing is the feeling that I'm not alone. I like the behind-the-scenes aspect of the forum because clients don't see all I'm juggling and get nervous, nor do new clients say "Oh, well she's too busy to help me."
I really appreciate your kind words about the forum. Anne and I always say it's not ours — it's yours. You and everyone who's in the forum make it the great place it is. Thank you for that, as well!
No problem Lori.
Jenn! Thanks so much. It's been so wonderful to see so many grab hold of an idea I've found truly helpful. I have two accountability partners in real life – we meet once a week usually… the forum lets me say what I'm going to do, then own that I either did or didn't on a daily basis.
Thanks so much for the article! A delightful surprise!
I'm the only accountability partner I have. I've tried other memberships, but they didn't work out. I felt like I wasn't getting my monies worth. I tend to hold the developers of a membership plan/course accountable if I'm spending $25 per month or $500 for an entire course. I'm looking to be surrounded by people who are truly supportive and won't just take my money. I don't want to be considered an ATM Machine.
Then it sounds like this one might be a good one for you. It doesn't involve laying out a lot of cash. It's enough to keep the spammers away. And the community is one of the most supportive I've seen.
I've found the accountability thread incredibly motivational for the same reasons, Jenn. My color coding is RED – not done; ORANGE – in progress; GREEN – completed.
I like that you have an "in progress" option too. Great idea for ongoing projects.
I email my accountability buddy every Friday with my list of what needs to be achieved next week and what I achieved this week. I'm thinking of changing this to a Google doc in 2013 so it's a more interactive experience.
It sounds like you have a great plan in place. As long as we find something that works for us, it's all good. Oddly, the week I talked about the accountability forum posts here was probably my worst week work-wise. I skipped quite a bit more than expected due to contractors showing up and some other distractions. Now it just means I'll be more determined to do well this week.

Funny cause I had a dream a few months ago about numbers and I played them...I only had five given to me in the dream that I remembered so I had to pick one on the fly. I chose the number 2 but when I rewrote the number on another sheet of paper for my hubby I (accidentally?) wrote down the number 6, which was the PB number chosen last night. Needless to say I didn't win a whole lot but I think it's funny how things represent themselves in dreams as opposed to our realities. I do think, though, that they can be prophetic and that this one was definately trying to say something. Could be as simple as get your butt up the hill when you see this+this happening.

Lamberto Hechanova
From Wikipilipinas: The Hip 'n Free Philippine Encyclopedia
Lamberto Hechanova (1939) was active in painting and printmaking doing abstract works, before he shifted to sculpture.
He introduced the use of aluminum and transparent plexiglass combined with wood in a series of his innovative sculpture. His works thus showed the influence of the constructivists who used chrome and plexiglass to achieve virtual volume in sculpture and to bring out its spatial dimension. He did a highly original approach to his materials. He also did large sculptures in wood.

Justin Bieber's Swoosh Bangs Immortalized in Wax Figure
Justin Bieber attended the unveiling of his new wax figure at Madame Tussauds in London on Tuesday, PEOPLE reports. The pop star's built-to-scale figure sported a red and black flannel, black pants and signature black shoes -- and looked eerily similar to the real thing.
"TWINS! lol," Bieber tweeted with a photo from the unveiling ceremony on Tuesday. He then tweeted, "knew [my mom] had more kids!"
The wax likeness features Bieber's famous swoosh bangs, so it's not an identical match to the pop star since he recently cut his famous locks. The face and outfit, however, were pretty dead on.
Bieber seemed to like it: "Thanks to the fans and @TussaudsLondon for today," he tweeted afterward.
More photos of the two Biebers after the jump.
A wax figure also debuted at Madame Tussauds NYC.

You've got it Lorna. The guy must have an amazing public relations team. They are the ones that deserve all the credit for making a ordinary young, untalented mall rat who can't sing into a superstar.

Young untalented mall rat?? HAHA!
Ok I am not even a Bieber fan- I actually can't stand the bubblegum pop/hip hop crap he does, but to call him untalented is just stupid! No team of people made him popular- Youtube did. He was just a little kid singing on youtube videos, and he got super popular that way. This kid CAN sing for real, and he plays drums really well too. You obviously have NO idea where he came from.
It's a shame that the pop machine turned him into just another auto-tuned pretty boy cash cow, but trust me- this child HAS TALENT! I only hope he can break out of the machine and use his talent in HIS way before he gets destroyed!! - Tuesday 29 MarchBy Donna

There are others who have had this same haircut stlye...but the Beatles was not exactly the same. I know...because in 1969 or so, I used to have one of those Beatle Cuts...lol. I am not kidding...but I think I remember putting a bowl over my head and cutting around it. Justin's hair is much more stylish than a plain bowl-cut.

Is Truck Bryant the new Jamie Smalligan? Plays the first couple minutes of the game and doesn't get back in. Maybe Truck wasn't the answer, but we needed some penetration last night to open up the shots for us and we didn't get it. Everything Bobby Knight said last night was true. Poor shot selection, not enough passes, "that's not the guy you want shooting the ball". Very true. We still could have won the game, though. Maybe more on this later. Maybe not. Grrrr!

CINEMA Ajith Paul Antony, younger son of A.K. Antony, is all set to debut in tinsel town with the multilingual film Oberoi
Y ou would expect the son to follow in his father's footsteps, especially if it is the dynastic world of Indian politics. In this case, though, the lure of tinsel town appears to have dimmed the charms of South Block for Ajith Paul Antony, younger son of Defence Minister A.K. Antony. Come January, Ajith is all set to don the lead role for a multilingual action thriller titled Oberoi, to be directed by Aji John of Nallavan fame.
'Fresh' outlook
"I was quite impressed by the freshness in Aji's approach, where he took what was a regular action thriller and gave it a different treatment. This fresh approach was exactly what I was looking for to begin a project that I had in mind. I decided then and there to get him on board," says the Delhi-based Ajith Antony in a phone interview with Metro Plus. "Besides having a fresh outlook, I'm counting on Aji's experience in Mollywood to guide me," adds Ajith, who has a degree in history and political science from St. Stephen's College, University of Delhi, and is a newcomer to tinsel town.
"Films are my passion," he says, shrugging off questions on acting experience.
Oberoi, the story of which has been written by Ajith himself, narrates the relationship between a wealthy North Indian businessman and his son.
The son, who is very much disinterested in the family business, finds himself having to take over the reins of the company from his father. "The story may sound like your run-of-the-mill hero rising to the challenge, but it's much more than that and it's going to be given a different treatment, with a lot of special effects," says Ajith.
The film will be shot in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
So what did his father have to say about his career move? (Laughs) "He's thrilled with it. All he said that was if acting was my passion, then that's what I must do." Here's to living up to your father's expectations.

Python Logical Data Access - Summary
The major impact of logical requests is the access to the information is non-hierarchical.
pylda is a translator between the logical requests and a storage container (fs, db, p2p, etc.). The logical requests consist of a combination of keyword and metadata elements (attribute). This combination follows the bool algebra. As a trivial example, requesting the picture file:///tmp/hollidays/newyork.jpg taken the 11/07/2007, the request could be : hollidays & newyork & date:11-07-2007.
The pylda philosophy consider that the data access have to be able via logical request and via the container traditional method.
The metadata are saved in standard metadata XML files or inside the file (if the file format supports it, exif for jpg, etc.).
For performance, there will have an indexation but this indexation is not necessary to let pylda works : the index can be regenerated.

The new computer areas and closed-off stairwells of MU's Ellis Library show a building under renovation and in the midst of progress. Plastic sheets block off the old in preparation for the new. But, despite the renovations, the library might be on the sharp end of a cut that could hinder its technological progress.
Last month, Gov. Matt Blunt suggested $240 million in cuts to the state budget. If approved, funding for the Missouri Bibliographic Information User System, commonly known as MOBIUS, would be eliminated. The cut of almost $650,000 would be MOBIUS' entire state appropriation for the service that links the four University of Missouri campuses, along with St. Louis University, Washington University in St. Louis and 54 others. It would additionally force fee increases by at least 40 percent.
The cuts would affect universities across the state and come months after the University of Missouri Board of Curators voted to raise tuition 3.5 percent to reflect the rate of inflation. Such an increase will limit the student fees coming through the university next year.
"We haven't the budget for that," said Jim Cogswell, MU director of libraries. "It would have to come out of somewhere, and more than likely, it would be yet another pressure on tuition dollars and student fees to make that happen."
As the largest institution in Missouri to use the system, MU would need to pay almost $120,000 more next year, up from the $260,000 it now pays to maintain the system, according to George Rickerson, executive director of MOBIUS. For the UM system to maintain the system, it would face an extra $222,000.
Last year, MU libraries loaned about 43,000 books though the system and borrowed about 33,000 from other MOBIUS libraries, Cogswell said. The cuts would jeopardize MU students' access to information by restricting their access to the 17 million books from academic libraries across the state and to the 3.2 million at MU, he said.
"No library on the planet can have all the books being published," Cogswell said. "Only by sharing books can we have more full access to everything that's available."
MOBIUS allows students to check out books from any of its 60 subscribing institutions throughout the state, including private universities. Students can find books through the system and have them delivered to their school's library 48 hours later. The money for MOBIUS benefits students and faculty above all, Cogswell said.
"It's not to benefit me or the library staff," he said. "It's to benefit the students, the faculty and the citizens of the state."
These cuts come after Blunt's office said in an Associated Press article last month that the $240 million in cuts would not affect money for public schools and higher education.
Rickerson said the system would not lose jobs or reduce services. Rickerson said the cuts do not follow Blunt's promise to leave higher education operating funds untouched because they take funds from the subscribing universities instead.
"The cut to MOBIUS has the effect of cutting funds to support Missouri higher education because they would have to reallocate money from internal programs to pay MOBIUS costs," Rickerson said. "It's kind of a back door cut, I guess you could say."
Blunt press secretary Jessica Robinson said the cuts to MOBIUS were a detail of the 20 percent reduction he announced in January. She said the governor has kept his promise to increase funding for education. She said that the reductions are spread across several state agencies and that higher education continued to receive the same amount of money as in the past.

Tuesday, August 2, 3:30-5:00 pm Can Chesapeake Bay Restoration Be Accomplished?
It has been 28 years since the first agreement to restore the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and despite substantial and sustained efforts goals have not been met. The effort recently entered a new phase with legal requirements to implement programs to meet TMDLs, yet the path is steep. Can the Chesapeake Bay restoration goals ever be fully met and what changes are needed to achieve this?

Ann Pesiri Swanson, Executive Director, Chesapeake Bay Commission
Robert Summers, Secretary, Maryland Department of the Environment
Moderator: Tim Wheeler, reporter, Baltimore Sun
Thursday, August 4, 3:30-5:00 pm Effective Communication of the Ecosystem Restoration Challenge
Public and political support is essential for ecosystem restoration, yet restoration scientists and practitioners are often ill prepared for communicating objectives and requirements. Most communication takes place through the news media rather than talks and pamphlets. An exceptionally experienced panel of reporters and authors will discuss what the public needs to know and how media changes affect communications pathways and offer some tips on how restoration scientists and practitioners can more effectively communicate.

Battle of Degsastan
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (March 2015) |
Battle of Degsastan | |||||||
Belligerents | |||||||
Bernicians | Dál Riatans | ||||||
Commanders and leaders | |||||||
Æthelfrith of Bernicia | Áedán mac Gabráin |
The Battle of Degsastan was fought around 603 between king Æthelfrith of Bernicia and the Gaels under Áedán mac Gabráin, king of Dál Riada. Æthelfrith carried the day, winning a decisive victory, although his brother Theodbald was killed. Almost nothing else is known about the battle, not even where "Degsastan" was supposed to be. Some suspect it was Dawstane in Liddesdale, Scotland.
According to Bede's account in his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (Book I, chapter 34), Æthelfrith had won many victories against the Britons and was expanding his power and territory, and this concerned Áedán, who led "an immense and mighty army" against Æthelfrith. Although Æthelfrith had the smaller army, Bede reports that almost all of Áedán's army was slain, and Áedán himself fled. After this defeat, according to Bede, the Irish kings in Britain would not make war against the English again, right up to Bede's own time (130 years later).
Áedán's army included the Bernician exile Hering, son of the former Bernician king Hussa; his participation is mentioned by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (manuscript E, year 603), and may indicate dynastic rivalry among the Bernicians. Áedán's army also included the Cenél nEógain prince Máel Umai mac Báetáin, who is said by Irish sources to have slain Eanfrith, brother of Æthelfrith.
Áedán survived as King of Dál Riata until 608 when he was succeeded by his youngest son Eochaid Buide. Æthelfrith died in battle in 616.

Battling the Dark Cloud: Print
this page Problem:
Low Self-Esteem Consequently, these kids may suffer from a lack of attention to what is RIGHT about them. As a result, they are more likely to have low self-esteem, low expectations for themselves, and to act out. Parents need to be aware of the "dark cloud" that may surround a child with learning or emotional difficulties. This is an area where you can be a powerful advocate for your child. Solution:
Help Your Child Build Success Stories If,
for instance, your child draws well, be sure that art class is included in his
or her schedule. If singing is a passion, find a choral group for your child to
join. Yet finding opportunities for success needs to be high on the to-do list. These opportunities for success will pay off as your child develops healthy self-esteem. This is crucial for children who learned early in life that they can't do anything right! Problem:

Kick-Ass 2 star Aaron Taylor-Johnson talks family, childhood and his upcoming projects. / Vera Anderson/WireImage
Not many 23-year-old men are eager to settle down, but British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is thrilled to come home to his wife, director Sam Taylor-Johnson, 46, and their daughters, Wylda Rae, 3, and Romy, 1. �I need them in my life,� he says. The couple met when she directed him in the 2009 John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy.
Taylor-Johnson who added his wife�s name, �Taylor,� to his name after the wedding, started acting when he was six and made his first film when he was 10. �I left school at 15 and went from job to job, living out of suitcases for a couple of years,� he says about his unsettled lifestyle. �I learned to have a voice. �Now I meet people who are older than me chronologically but they�re actually younger. When you�re ready (to settle down), you�re ready. I fell in love and wanted babies, and I�ve got two beautiful girls. I need them in my life. Now I have a life. It�s worth waking up in the morning. �I�m very happy. My wife and kids ground me. They�re my stability. To me, that�s the most important thing.�
Taylor-Johnson, is now filming Godzilla, due for release next year. Before that, though, he plays the title character in Kick-Ass 2, opening Aug. 16. �I love being Kick-Ass,� he says of the teenage crime-fighting superhero. �He�s funny and spotty.�

And needless to say, it's not a moment too soon. The Rays and their rainbow-gradated jerseys have been eyesores on the diamond since the team's 1998 inception, but let's give credit where it's due: Tampa's new duds are simultaneously traditionalist and super-sharp, from the blue/green color scheme to the overhauled jersey emblem, from the new cap design to the alternate vest jersey. Hell, even the alternate cap looks great! Well done, peopleall is forgiven.
The Devil Rays' back-to-basics renaissance is one of several developments that should gladden the hearts of tradition- and history-minded baseball aesthetes this season. Among the highlights:
The White Sox, apparently trying to channel some positive historical karma, have come up with a brilliant alternate uniform by resurrecting the outfit that the team wore while winning its last World Series title in 1917. The uni, which was designed specifically for that year's fall classic and never worn again, is a beautyand the new repro of it, which will be worn for the team's Sunday home games, is relatively faithful to the original, complete with white cap, surnameless jersey with cadet-style collar, gorgeous "SOX" chest insignia, and American flag sleeve patch (which at the time was a gesture of support for America's World War I involvement). Too bad they didn't render it in wool flannel instead of polyester double-knit, but you can't have everything. Uni Watch's highest rating.
The Pirates are also dipping into their past, switching to home and road vest jerseys modeled on the designs that the team wore from 1957 through 1970. Let's see newly acquired Derek Bell put a hip-hop spin on that!
The Pirates and Devil Rays aren't the only teams joining the sleeveless setthe Blue Jays have switched to a vest road jersey. But the Mariners have deleted their alternate vest, so worldwide sleeveless domination, long advocated by Uni Watch, remains on the slow track for now.
Alternate caps have clearly plateaued, with only the Giants adding an extra lid and the Red Sox, Angels, Mariners, and Diamondbacks all shelving theirs. And in a textbook case of addition by subtraction, the Pirates have ditched that miserable gray road cap.
With 2001 marking the American League's centennial, A.L. teams are wearing a snappy 100th-anniversary sleeve patch. The patches worn by the Indians, Red Sox, Tigers, and White Sox have an additional design flourish, identifying these clubs as charter members of the league.
Other cool sleevewear: a sharp 25th-anniversary patch for the Blue Jays; a handsome 40th-anniversary patch for Houston, celebrating both the Astros and the franchise's earlier incarnation, the Colt .45s; and a nifty "Home to Heroes" patch for the Brewers, commemorating baseball's role in Wisconsin culture over the past century. All three neatly symbolize a season in which baseball is moving ahead by looking back.
